Is pressotherapy suitable for everyone?

Many people mistakenly believe that Compression Therapy is something intended exclusively for elite athletes or both professional and amateur sportspeople. It is important to understand how compression therapy works. Compression Therapy is also for people of a certain social status who use this therapy or many others as a luxury of well-being. Years ago, when Compression Therapy was only available in clinics and beauty centers, it was true that many people were unaware of its existence or did not consider this type of care due to the high cost involved. To the question, Is compression therapy suitable for everyone? What would our answer be? Let’s find out!

Compression therapy is ideal for your daily life

And although currently, even the marketing of Compression Therapy (the benefits of compression therapy) is directly aimed at athletes like our Sizen ambassadors, that does not mean at all that it is not suitable for everyone in general. Athletes include Compression Therapy as an essential complement in their muscle recovery routines (in their physiotherapy treatments). But they are not the only ones who need tuning and maintenance.

And this is something that at SIZEN, we are very clear about and want to emphasize especially in this article. Anyone—except those whose age, physical condition, or health status contraindicates its use—can benefit from this type of treatment. Each of us, in our respective jobs or professions, is immersed in a hectic pace and rush. You are not an athlete, but you face a daily marathon. You leave home early in the morning and arrive in the mid-afternoon or even at night after an exhausting workday. Fatigue, tension, stress… All of that ends up taking its toll.

No excess is good: Tension and physical effort Vs Sedentary lifestyle

Every job requires a certain level of physical and intellectual effort. And whether you work moving your body a lot or spend a lot of time in the same position or even sitting in front of a screen, in any case, no excess is good (excessive compression therapy has contraindications). Both intense and continuous effort and forced sedentarism can lead to contractures, sprains, varicose veins, fat nodules. Or in other words: Is compression therapy suitable for everyone? A resounding yes! We become perfect candidates for Compression Therapy.

Let’s think about people who work moving a lot all day and making great effort both bone and muscular to carry out their tasks. Working restocking in a supermarket, delivering packages, in construction, painting, or doing carpentry work, in cleaning tasks. Sooner or later, all these people will show clear symptoms of muscles strained by tension and physical effort.

On the other hand, there are those who work moving very little—which is no less tiring—or doing so by repeating the same movements. Many hours sitting in front of a screen, doing administrative work, can undoubtedly be a very representative case of people who also need Compression Therapy.
Let’s also imagine someone who spends endless hours behind the wheel, a taxi or truck driver. Stretching the legs from time to time is the least their body will demand. It is common for this type of work to cause circulatory problems, cellulite, swelling, or pain in the legs, lower back, and the rest of the back.

Let’s not forget beauty professionals either. A very clear example is hairdressing.
They spend almost the whole day standing, walk little in a limited space, and both their legs and arms, exercised continuously and monotonously to wash, cut, dry, and style hair, need to be pampered. We dedicate ourselves to work every day. Is compression therapy suitable for everyone? Is it the best treatment? Of course!
